Project Details
About the project
The third edition of America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2025 is based on a national online survey of over ten thousand medical professionals as well as hospital quality metrics, patient satisfaction data based on Google reviews, and a PROMs implementation score based on the voluntary Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) implementation survey conducted by Statista. The ranking features the top 50 children’s hospitals for Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology & Gastrointestinal Surgery, Neonatology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Oncology, Orthopedics and Pulmonology.
Hospitals specializing in multiple specialties received specific recommendation scores for each respective medical field. Therefore, one hospital can be represented in more than one list if it received enough recommendations in each specialty.
The upcoming survey period for the PROMs implementation survey will begin in autumn 2025 and will be open for participation here.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating healthcare rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2025.
01 Concept
For our healthcare projects, we provide comprehensive insights into the quality of healthcare providers and facilities through our rankings. These rankings help patients make informed, data-driven decisions about their medical needs. They also give healthcare facilities a composite benchmark to understand their position relative to their peers. Integrating data from diverse performance indicators and expert knowledge, we deliver rankings that recognize excellence and promote high standards in healthcare.
02 Data Collection
Our team of analysts employs a range of data sources including questionnaires collecting insights from professionals and data submitted directly by hospitals through the Statista PROMS Implementation and Smart Hospitals Maturity surveys. Publicly available data on quality metrics and patient experience are also assessed. In collaboration with a global board of experts, we are continuously advancing our methodologies to compile the most trusted healthcare rankings.
03 Evaluation
Healthcare analysts at Statista Rankings apply advanced scoring models comprising numerous data pillars to ensure robust and reliable results. Evaluation relies largely on diverse quality indicators and survey results, with pillar weightings adjusted per project based on data availability. These tailored models are used to calculate scores for each facility and determine the final rankings.
04 Quality Assurance
As we are committed to quality, every ranking undergoes a thorough verification process to validate the data used and ensure that the top healthcare providers are recognized. Our experienced team of analysts conducts extensive research on a range of healthcare topics and facilities—including hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors—guaranteeing the utmost reliability in Statista's rankings.
